Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Susan's still in intensive care, in critical condition. I'm worried sick." Old Sterling sighed.

"I can go to see her for you," Savannah said. "Don't worry, I will ask the doctor about Susan and come back to tell you, and I will ask the nurse to take good care of her."

Old Sterling stared at her for a long time without speaking.

"Sir…" Savannah took a deep breath. "Don't you trust me?"

"I surely trust you." Old Sterling shook his head and sighed. "You will soon be my daughter-in-law, Dylan's wife. It's right for you to handle the matters of the family. How can I not trust you?"

Savannah's face blushed a little.

"I'm just thinking about what Susan had done to you and how you returned well. You're even willing to take the time to deal with her illness..."

Savannah knew it wasn't because she was kind enough to forgive someone who had hurt her many times, it was just because of that man.

She would marry him soon. So, his family was also her family, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to them when they needed help.

Since she had promised him that she would take care of his father and sister, she would do what she said.

Savannah played with Kaiden for a while before she left for the mental home.

The mental home in the daytime looked the same as general hospitals.

The doctor told Savannah that Susan's vital signs had stabilized, and she was much better than yesterday.

Savannah was relieved. Since Susan was getting better, old Sterling wouldn't be too worried.

After visiting Susan, she hurried out of the mental home.

Just as she was walking out of the gate, she saw a familiar man getting out of a black car not far away. Her steps stopped short.

Devinpaused when he saw Savannah. Then he came slowly over.

Savannah thought she would never see him again in her life.

It was supposed to be old Sterling who allowed him to come back to see Susan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the guts to go home without permission.

He looked worn-out and seemed to have just got off the plane.

After more than three years, he looked still like a dissipated idler. He walked to Savannah with a frivolous smile, looking up and down.

"Long time no see. I heard you're going to marry uncle?"

Savannah didn't want to talk to him. She bypassed him and moved on without a word.

Devin, ashamed into anger at her ignorance, stared at her back, crying, "oh, are you so proud to marry into the Sterling family? The wedding has not taken place yet. I know that you almost got married three years ago, but then it was canceled. It's hard to say whether you can hold the ceremony smoothly this time. Even if you marry my uncle, you won't be happy!"

Hearing Devin's vicious curse, Savannah stopped, her face covered with ice, and slowly she turned to look at the man who looked uglier out of frustration.

"After being driven out of home and staying in Japan for more than three years, you seem not to improve at all."She said slowly with a hint of ridicule.

Devin gritted his teeth angrily.

Savannah continued with a sneer, "It's not up to you whether Dylan and I will be happy or not. It's up to us. Your curse only proves that you are a clown, ignorant, ugly, jealous, and disgusting."

With that said, she turned and continued on her way.

She wondered how she had been with such a man for a year.

Devin watched her back, and suddenly he ran to catch her.

"It's not only a curse or out of jealousy when I said you and uncle wouldn't be happy, but it's also the truth, and you should know very well what I mean!" He said violently.

Savannah halted, turning back.

"What do you mean?" She pressed her bad feelings down.

Devin noticed the change of her expression, walking towards her slowly with a little satisfied air of importance on his face.

"Three years ago, my mother was sent here because of a sudden mental disorder. I once wondered if a person could really go crazy so easily. Even if my dad and my mom divorced, it shouldn't have broken my mom down like this. Later, I sent someone to investigate it privately. Then I knew the truth... A secret that the family had hidden for years..."

Savannah's heart contracted sharply, and she clenched her fists.

"That fact is, my grandmother had a hereditary mental illness! Because of that, my elder uncle was dead in a car crash after his attachment met with strong opposition; because of that, my mother suddenly went insane... Grandpa had given his three children and me genetic tests long before, and they all carry the genetic gene, except me! Ha! That is to say, my uncle also has a hereditary mental illness, which can attack him at any time, and he doesn't seem to know that this terrible disease is lurking in his body, does he? But you probably already knew that, didn't you? You're pretty bold to be with a guy who may go insane at any time. Living with such a man, happiness is impossible for you!"

"Nonsense! Shut up!" Savannah could stand it no longer.

Devintutted and shook his head.

"I know you hate to admit it, but it's the truth, it won't change. You see, this genetic disease won't spare any of the Sterlings. You knew the end of my grandmother, elder uncle, and my mother, didn't you? Do you think my uncle can get away with his fate? Oh, when the famous Dylan Sterling becomes a complete madman, hated, shunned, talked about, and lost his reputation, and is finally locked up in an insane asylum... How miserable he will be!"

Devin's words knocked heavily on Savannah's heart.

Yes, that was always a great worry to her.

She had been afraid to think about the hereditary disease of the Sterling family and had been comforting herself that he might be luckier than his mother, brother, and sister, and the disease would spare him...
